CPR Flash Mob
In a clever way to keep interest in CPR and to show how simple performing CPR really is, twelve ambulance medics participating in a simple flash mob.
Using a variety of dummy victims from stuffed animals to training mannequins, the medics went through a quick emergency process; pretending to call 911, shouting for help, and administering chest compressions.
They even threw in a few breathes.
They performed to the Bee Gee’s Satyin’ Alive, making the event fairly lively.
Onlookers had a chance to experience the simplicity of CPR by the fearless medics.
Be a hero. Learn CPR!
